Four out of five attempts have failed with an error 5 of Access Denied. I'm able to "drag and drop" the files and folders without a problem. I've tried it both with the user's rights and with domain admin rights.

*As to the original script not having this because the folder should be redirected to a network share: "Not how it's done here!" And not my power to get it changed.

Suggestion (And what I've been doing). Download disk2vhd from Microsoft (SysInternals) and make a VHD of the old XP Hard Drive. Then copy it to and mount it on the Win7 system. Users can put files in stupid places. Doing this ensures you get everything and permissions aren't a problem. It can also be a fairly fast process since it's not doing things in the same way a file copy might.

Yes, I'm logged in as the user. I thought it would be reassuring and amusing to the user to see their old files come back as we configured printers, mapped drives, and I gave them some Windows 7 tricks.

I also have the problem with robocopy not being able to copy the My Documents folder.

I would definitely like to be able to get this fixed. The robocopy script I was using, was working fine but after a few months it no longer works. I am not sure if a windows update patch screwed it up.

I tried renaming My Documents to just Documents, however I believe that makes no difference in Win 7 as it is still a special folder tagged under libraries.
